TRANSCRIPT: ABC News/Facebook/WMUR Democratic Debate

I think that every time this happens, what will occur -- every
time he speaks out for change, every time I fight for change, the
forces of status quo are going to attack -- every single time.

EDWARDS: And what we have to remember -- and this is the
overarching issue here, because what we really need in New Hampshire
and in future state primaries, is we need an unfiltered debate between
the agents of change about how we bring about that change. Because we
have differences about that.

But the one thing I do not argue with him about is he believes
deeply in change. And I believe deeply in change.

And any time you're fighting for that -- I mean, I didn't hear
these kind of attacks from Senator Clinton when she was ahead. Now
that she's not, we hear them.

And any time you speak out -- any time you speak out for change,
this is what happens.

GIBSON: With apologies to Governor Richardson, I think
(inaudible).

CLINTON: Well, making change, making -- wait a minute. Now,
wait a minute. I'm going to respond to this.

Because obviously -- obviously making change is not about what
you believe. It's not about a speech you make. It is about working
hard.

There are 7,000 kids in New Hampshire who have health care
because I helped to create the Children's Health Insurance Program.
There are 2,700 National Guard and Reserve members who have access to
health care because, on a bipartisan basis, I pushed legislation
through over the objection of the Pentagon, over the threat of a veto
from President Bush.

CLINTON: I want to make change, but I've already made change. I
will continue to make change. I'm not just running on a promise of
change. I'm running on 35 years of change. I'm running on having
taken on the drug companies and the health insurance companies, taking
on the oil companies.

So, you know, I think it is clear that what we need is somebody
who can deliver change. And we don't need to be raising the false
hopes of our country about what can be delivered. The best way to
know what change I will produce is to look at the changes that I've
already made.

RICHARDSON: Well, I've been in hostage negotiations that are a
lot more civil than this.

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE)

You know, I think one of the things that we need to remember --
I'm going to say this again because I said it at a previous debate --
let's stay positive. You know, there will be plenty of time to get
negative with the Republicans.

RICHARDSON: You heard them earlier.

(LAUGHTER)

Let us talk about how we're going to make sure that we deliver
health care for the American people, how we change America's foreign
policy, how we make schools better and pay teachers better and get rid
of No Child Left Behind.

Look, what we need is change. There's no question. But, you
know, whatever happened to experience? Is experience kind of a leper?
What is wrong with, you know, what is wrong with having -- what is
wrong with having been, like myself, 14 years in the Congress, two
Cabinet positions?

I mean, I've gone head-to-head with the North Koreans. We got
the remains of soldiers back. We persuaded them to reduce their
nuclear weapons.

What is wrong with being a governor and going to a state and
giving health care to kids under 12 and creating jobs and balancing
budgets?
